Ladder Rules:
- Spam will not be tolerated. Continuing to spam the thread when you've been warned will result in suspension and possible ban from the ladder. Let's keep this to challenges/results/updates, any other topics can be discussed via PM.
- Limit of one character per participant.
- Changing your build/class is not allowed. You can PM a mediator to validate minor changes, otherwise changing anything results in forfeit of rank and starting from the bottom.
- If at any point you are inactive for 3 or more days, you will be removed from the ladder. You can reapply at any time when you are available consistently again.
- Anyone can request up to 7 days Vacation Status, at the moderating team's discretion. During this "status", the ladder will act as if you aren't there. #1 will be granted immunity as long as they have at least 1 current defend. (Tiers will not change from Vacation Status.)
- You must have PM access here to join this ladder. If at any point you lose the ability to PM other users, you will be removed.



Signup Format:

Example: LucAA / *LuCa / Zi (Ele)

Character notes are optional for your signup, but if at any point someone might ask questions about your build or request you to show inventory you must oblige.



Challenges:

Example: Challenge #3, PMing.

- The only thing you need to do to challenge a user is post here what user you are challenging and PM them notifying them of the challenge.
- Everyone is allowed to challenge any other participant within up to 2 ranks of their rank, so long as that participant is not already in a challenge. (IE: #10 can challenge #8 or #9)
- Challenges will last 3 days.
- A 24 hour extension can be requested, at the moderating team's discretion.
- It is the responsibility of the challenger to request extensions.
- If a participant does not respond to a challenge within 2 days of the PM, you can call dodge.
- Losing a challenge prevents you from challenging that participant for 72 hours, and all other participants for 3 hours.



Results:
- In order to receive credit for a challenge, the winner of the challenge must post 2 screenshots.
- If these screenshots are not posted, in the correct manner, the challenge will either be nulled or replayed if possible.
1. One screenshot showing left-click skills, with map and time shown.
2. One screenshot of message log showing at least 1 kill, with time shown.
